Kenneth Jay recently posted a workout that he did on Facebook. It was 1 hour of pull ups with a 24k bell. I was talking to Will Williams the other night and he said that comes out to 1 pull up every 20 seconds for 1 hour.
So, of course I wanted to try it. Why the hell not. To do this effectively, I could not do this with a 24k bell, my form would go to shit pretty fast. So, I modified this workout to see how I would do. I used a 12k bell wrapped around my foot. I did not use a belt. I also alternated R/L foot with the bell to keep things symmetrical. I set my Gymboss timer to 15:15, so every 15 seconds I did 1 pull up with perfect form for 30min. Talk about being self motivated. Those 30min took forever.
15 seconds gave me enough time to recover, yet made it very challenging. Using the 12k bell was light but again I was focused on perfect form, I don't do things half-assed. I will try to do this again, but going 45min.
It was a great workout. Thank you Kenneth Jay for the idea.
